Available to hire
I’m a highly experienced teacher turned copywriter, a skilled generalist with the ability to adapt to a wide variety of voices, styles and forms. I love the intellectual challenge of mastering new topics, and working with subject matter experts and founders to create compelling content that clearly articulates who they are and what they do, in ways that resonate with the reader.
